Forgetting (then remembering) to check Webmentions

A few years ago I implemented webmentions on this site (by way of webmention.io and commentpara.de). I was never satisfied with it as a commenting system and never fully committed to it. I kept looking for either a better system or a webmention receiver I could host myself and never settled on anything.
The webmention system has remained hooked up here and still works. To my shame I forgot about it and stopped downloading new messages. I remembered a couple days ago, ran my download script, and there were mentions that'd been sitting in queue for years. So: sorry! Thank you to the two people who commented, I appreciate it. Those comments have been imported and I've left myself a note to remember to run the mention download script when I update this website in the future.
I'd still like to host my own receiver & mention-sending comment form (I'd be a lot happier without depending on third-party sites). Maybe it's time to look at the problem again.

This is a quick test message to ensure that quill, commentpara.de, and webmention.io all do in fact still work. (I wonder what percentage of messages on commentpara.de are test messages).
Cheers to the folks who keep these services running.
